Candidate Spotlight: John Ebiner

February 17, 2020

In this fifth and final interview of my candidate series, I talk with incumbent Councilmember John Ebiner. John talks about his accomplishments during his time on the City Council, as well as his goals and ideas for the future direction of San Dimas. The Councilmember reiterates his priorities of maintaining a high quality of life for residents, protecting historic neighborhoods from overdevelopment, and preserving open space.

great interview john & isabel! keep up the good work! i have really enjoyed these interviews as a way to get to know the council candidates better. john already knows where i differ with him. i do like john’s team concept to advocate for city redevelopment & other issues (projects) with citizens & city staff. but please, please, please be sure not to leave via verde out. i think the surveys are a great start to get more citizen input too. most residents of via verde are not personally notified about projects that would be of interest to them. i think the postings on the bulletin board at via verde vons are insufficient notification. especially since a lot of via verde residents are no longer shopping down there. btw: thank john for the red geraniums downtown instead of the ugly yucca plants! i think the red flowers are just the right accent color to liven up the place! enjoyed them when i walked thru the courtyard from rear parking to the eye doctors! the tiny white tree lights along bonita are nice too. we do love the san dimas mansion & just had a wonderful scottish meal there on the 15th. the san dimas mansion is one of our favorite places in town! maybe the pioneer square project & a renovated lemon packing house will join our favorites list in the near future.

Thanks for your comments, BJ! I, like you, have a great appreciation for our downtown and look forward to what is to come. And I also don’t want to leave Via Verde out. I have an upcoming episode featuring a business from Via Verde, but if you have any other ideas for my podcast, let me know! Best, Isabel
